1 Revolutionary satellite solution features modular design SpaceWorks provides unique and advanced satellite solutions. One of the company s current projects involves the development of the next-generation of satellite structures for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The system, appropriately named Plug-and-Play Satellite (PnPSat), features a modular framework of panels that use a shared electrical and communication bus that can be quickly assembled into a fully functional and ready to launch satellite in a matter of days. Depending upon the mission of the satellite, any number of off-the-shelf spacecraft component modules can be plugged into the panels, making the satellite ready for immediate launch. This approach represents a revolutionary leap forward. Typically, months and usually years are required to create a dedicated satellite. Conversely, the PnPSat system provides a turnaround time of just days for the right missions. A key factor in the utility of the PnP satellite is its lightweight and rigid structural framework that facilitates the easy placement of spacecraft component modules, e.g., batteries and telescopic imagers. To allow commonality of usage, the framework is designed to launch the lightest combination of modules in any desired grouping. Determining the appropriate combination was not an easy process and required the extensive use of engineering optimization using finite element analysis (FEA). To expedite this process, Predictive Engineering was hired as SpaceWorks FEA specialist. Wechose Predictive Engineering due to the company s unique blend of high-end analysis resources and ability to easily work within our engineering team in meeting our schedules and budget, says Jeff Preble, president, SpaceWorks. Using Femap with NX Nastran technology from Siemens PLM Software, Predictive Engineering built a series of elegant but complex FE models that allowed SpaceWorks to quickly gain insights into the structural performance of this novel spacecraft structure.within weeks, SpaceWorks was able to verify its new design and win accolades from its main client, the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.
2 Leveraging advanced analysis The PnP satellite structure is composed of eight panels that are bolted together. Each panel is made up of two symmetric halves. The panel has thick ribs to provide structural reinforcement with a thin outer skin. If a standard designer approach would have been used to simply mesh the geometry with 10-node tetrahedrals, the resultant FE model would have been in the range of tens of millions of nodes and would have been unsolvable. Predictive Engineering determined that the only practical approach was to mesh the thin skin using plate elements and the thicker ribs with 8-node bricks. Using the advanced meshing techniques in Femap, a completely mapped mesh (bricks and plates) of the PnPSat structure with a node count of approximately 800,000 was produced. Although large by most analysis standards, the FEA results for the structure s normal modes were found to be within five percent of experimental results. We knew we were pushing the technology of both Femap and NX Nastran with this model and such tight correlation just confirmed to us that we were on the right track, says George Laird, principal mechanical engineer, Predictive Engineering. To see such a good correlation on a very complex system model was impressive. In addition, solution times were in the range of minutes using a standard 64-bit PC computational platform.without the advanced meshing tools within Femap creating matched grids of 8-node bricks and 4- node quads it would have been impossible to achieve the simulation accuracy required by SpaceWorks. We knew that we had the right engineering analysis team on board when we saw that not only the model was accurate but we could generate optimization runs in minutes, says Preble. Strong competitive position bolstered SpaceWorks development of the PnPSat structural system demonstrates its ability to rapidly respond with innovative solutions to highly complex engineering requirements. Preble points out, Creating advanced models that are both accurate and fast definitely gives us a competitive edge and has become a critically important contribution on these fast-paced, technically challenging spacecraft projects.
3 Analysis Tools and Procedures: The Femap model was constructed based on a detailed SolidWorks CAD model. The analysis was performed using NX Nastran. The model was run through a series of linear static analyses followed by a normal mode analysis. At the end of the program the model was subjected to a Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis using a standard PSD excitation from 20 to 2,000 Hz that simulated launch conditions.
4 Overall view of the PnPSat-2 Satellite finite element model. The Satellite is constructed by assembling six identical outer panels onto two identical top/bottom panels. The panels are then connected with brackets along their corners. Each panel is composed of an outer skin of plate elements meshed over a framework of 8-node brick elements. This efficient FE construction technique limited the model size to approximately 800,000 nodes.
5 A close-up view of the corner of the PnPSat-2 satellite shows the detailed meshing that was done on this project. Such high-fidelity meshing was part of the reason that the structure provided such excellent correlation to the experimental results.
6 The interior framework of the PnPSat-2 satellite is a dense array of brick elements. Although it appears complex, only a small section of the mesh required meshing since it could be reflected and copied to create each panel. If this framework was meshed using 10-node tetrahedrals, the model would be almost too large to analyze.
7 This image shows the bottom corner of the satellite and how the various components are integrated onto the structure.
8 Dynamic analysis of the PnPSat-2 satellite showed remarkable agreement with experimental results with normal mode predictions in the 5% range. Although the model was quite large (>800,000 nodes), run times were in minutes. This is the true power of an efficient FEA model quick run times coupled with high accuracy. Such a combination allowed the design team to take numerical flights of fancy without the attendant risks of losing your complete satellite during launch.
